Cradles to Crayons Brings the Giving Factory Experience to Volunteers
While the current COVID-19 crisis prevents large groups from gathering at Cradles to Crayons, families looking to volunteer this season can still do so from the comfort of their own homes.
The organization is now bringing the warehouse experience to volunteers with its Giving Factory at Home program.
As we approach a full year of living with the pandemic in the U.S., there continues to be a growing number of families here in Massachusetts struggling to provide basic necessities for their children, making Cradles to Crayons’ mission more critical than ever.
Families who engage in Giving Factory at Home activities help Cradles to Crayons continue to reach those in need.
From the safety of their homes, participants will take on tasks that replicate the volunteer stations as they would in-person – from sorting clothing by type or size to preparing and packing shoes, books, and hygiene supplies.
Families can join at any time; each activity requires picking up donations from the Giving Factory in Newton before getting started.
In-person volunteer shifts remain open at The Giving Factory Warehouse for those interested in hands-on processing of the donated goods.
Visit the website for details and the careful safety protocols and requirements implemented to keep staff and volunteers safe.
Families can sign up for the toolkit of activities at any time.
